This June Izzy and I set off on bikepacking adventure from London to Vienna over a period of 7 weeks. The first week took us via canals and across ferries through The Netherlands, about half way down the Rhine in Germany following the EV15 route. Within this series, we cover over 3500 km of cycling, crossing the Swiss Alps via the famous Oberalp Pass & Gotthard pass, passing through the Italian lakes, the Dolomites and crossing through countries like Slovenia and Hungary. Stay tuned and subscribe to follow our journey.
Have you ridden any of these routes – I’d love to hear about your own cycle tour! Also if you want to know any specifics about gear we used etc pop questions in the comments!

Loved it. Looking forward to the next weeks!!
Excellent vid by the legendary "Lucky" Luke Wilson
I'll enjoy watching.
I flew from the U.S. to Amsterdam in mid-April and road around Holland during the tulips.
Then, down the coast to the Hook of Holland, and road from there to Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
My end destination was going to be Andermatt, but there was snow in the forecast, so I backtracked to Lake Constance and then down to Zurich.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your videos.
Thanks.
Made me laugh when the title read European Cycling Adventure and the first thing you did was get on a train.
A question if I may. Why do you ride without fenders? I hate riding through rain without them, simply because it protects your gear.
Great Video! 2:45 = When the coffee slaps!
Looks fantastic so far, hope to do the same some day!✌
Just driven to Italy and that was hard enough🤪
Cycling to Rotterdam it's the Maas not the Rhine and cycling at Kinderdijk the river it's called the Lek. Sorry for that.
You can't really do this on a sports bike.
I just stumbled on this channel. Last year two buddies and I rode from Bonn to Mannheim, where we detoured to Heidelberg and on to Karlsruhe (two of us lived in Germany in the 1980s). We rode 230 miles/370 km in four days. If I had it all to do again I would spend more time as a tourist than as a cyclist. Speaking of which watching these videos has given me another itch. Maybe Berlin to Prague using Eurovelo 7. Maybe.
nice vid , but could have done without the music . drowned out a lot of what you saying .
